Our family is in decline

It’s said that he is a scoundrel, the most important thing is that he must be courageous and thick-skinned.

If they become intimidated by being scared, then they are still fooling around.

"What the hell does it have to do with you, old man?"

"Who is this person? Do you dare to go against him?"

"This one is more heavyweight..."

Before he could finish speaking, the tavern owner didn't talk nonsense at all and directly aimed his gun.

When faced with the black muzzle of the gun, the three people who had just come in and made a noise were frightened for a moment. They didn't even care that they were just a few steps away. They raised their fingers and said something to the clown before turning around and leaving as if running away.

"Just wait for me!"

The remaining two also ran away quickly, but they did not forget to shout.

"Don't come out if you can!"

"If you come out, you won't be able to reap the rewards!"

The three of them succeeded in making everyone laugh. Even if they were really clowns, they would not be able to perform such a funny performance. There is no need to say who is the clown king.

"What's going on? How did you provoke them?"

The boss put away his musket and set his sights on the clown.

He needs to maintain order in the tavern. Otherwise, if some gangsters can cause trouble, who will come?

But the boss is not a philanthropic person, and he does not take care of everything. No one has this ability in the imperial capital, an environment full of monsters and monsters.

The reason why he spoke just now, apart from the fact that the other party was causing trouble and breaking the rules of the tavern, there was also a more important reason was that everyone nearby knew the three rogues and knew that there was no one behind them.

Others were also attracted by the boss's voice, and they were also curious about why the clown provoked those people.

In response to this, the clown still maintained a relaxed attitude, briefly talking about the nobles giving rewards, being seen by them, and then trying to steal the money.

"Hahaha! Why don't you let the nobles take notice?"

"Don't tell me, there are some places you really can't go to. Who knows what those guys like..."

The man suddenly smiled lewdly as he spoke, but someone soon took over.

"Yes, I heard..."

Without saying a few words, the topic went astray to which nobleman liked men, and then he kept laughing.

In today's society, the only means of entertainment that can provide them with entertainment is gossip, which does not distinguish between men and women.

The boss didn't go astray. After hearing this, he opened his mouth to signal.

"You're so horny after messing with those guys, there's no need to waste your time with them, I'll have someone take you out the back door.

If it doesn't work, you can go to the noble. No matter how much courage you give them, they won't dare to provoke those big shots. "

The boss's words seemed like he wanted to help the clown escape, but in fact, what he really meant was that he wanted the clown to leave here.

As he said, those scoundrels are very disgusting. They can be suppressed by rules in the tavern, but it is not easy to deal with them outside.

If the three of them blocked the entry and exit of guests, he would be in trouble.

There are also things that are not harmful but are extremely insulting to the pub, such as throwing feces and the like, which is disgusting.

There's no way the boss would hook himself up just to help a passing clown.

The clown seemed to understand this and responded with a smile.

"Then let me play one last song."

After saying that, he took off his backpack and took out his musical instrument, leaned against the bar and started playing a brisk rhythm.

For a time, the already cheerful tavern was immersed in the lively music, and everyone's faces were smiling from the bottom of their hearts.

The boss was sitting at the bar, wiping his wine glass, but he was undoubtedly attracted by the melody. He remembered some happy things, and hummed an inaudible song unconsciously.

It seems that he was also a figure when he was young, with so many things worth remembering.

At the end of the song, the clown bent down and thanked the audience around him, while everyone was still immersed in that relaxation.

By the time everyone reacted, the clown had already disappeared, and his figure was gone from the entire tavern.

But no one said anything. There were so many people coming and going in the tavern every day. It would be better to forget about it in the world.

After all, although they showed resistance just now, in fact, it is impossible for everyone to actually take action. If the three of them had been tougher, their faces might have been exposed. After all, they are just ordinary people.

And the three people actually squatted outside and began to discuss how to take action. Just as the tavern owner considered, they did intend to cause trouble to the tavern without the clown coming out.

"Whose territory is this?"

"Which big brother is covering this place?"

"Let me go find out where that old man is from?"

But before that, they need to inquire about the situation. The few of them who have been sneaking and abducting can survive until now just because they don't provoke some powerful people.

But at this moment, one person found that the clown walked out in a swaggering manner. He did not take the threat they had just seen seriously, which stimulated their fragile hearts.

"Hey! That guy is out."

"He's so damn pretentious, he must be taken down."

"Go, get up!"

The other two people quickly followed, but these three people didn't seem to realize that there were fewer and fewer people around...

It wasn't until he passed a corner and entered a dark alley that the clown's light footsteps stopped. He looked back at the three people following him, and a strange laughter came from under the mask.

"Jie Jie Jie~ Originally I just wanted to teach him a lesson, but now it seems that blood will compose a new chapter."

The three of them probably didn't know more than ten words in total, and they couldn't understand such strange words.

But they are too lazy to talk nonsense anymore. Money and other things are already trivial matters, and face is more important. A person who resists them has nothing to do with it. Once word spreads, it will not scare ordinary people.

"Damn it! Have you ever seen what a black hand is?"

As he said that, one of them took out a knife and went to kill him. It's not like he had never killed someone before, let alone someone from out of town.

The next second there was a scream

But that cry was not made by the clown, but by the man who stretched out the knife.

"My hand!"

The man screamed and stretched out his hand to hold the wound, but it was still difficult to control the blood spurting out.

Only then did the other two people see that his hand was severed from the wrist, and the severed hand holding the knife fell to the ground.

This situation scared them for a moment. They looked up at the clown and noticed the sickle in his hand.

Oh shit! I met a ruthless person.

If they were real people, they wouldn't be scared away by the tavern owner's words, so they already had the idea of ​​​​escape.

But this time the clown finally moved, and his slender body had a kind of agility.

"Ha, haha, hahahaha, jiejie, quack."

Amidst the bursts of crazy laughter, a cold light pierced the darkness, and a sharp sickle slit their throats. They could not even scream, and they could only cover the wounds on their necks feebly and wait for death in pain.

Unless a bishop stood by his side, such a wound would bleed to death.

After the killing was completed, the clown's crazy laughter subsided slightly. He shook off the blood on the sickle and left the dark alley.

I can’t stay here anymore, where should I go next?

It wasn't until soon that someone discovered the bodies of the three people. After the news spread to the tavern, it became another story that spread among the people.

As for the protagonist?

The figure of the clown has long since disappeared, and no one knows where he has gone. One afternoon, fallen leaves may bring a message.

…………

Most people have no concept of the size of the empire, especially those who cannot leave towns or even villages in their entire lives. It is their entire world.

In fact, the continent is huge, and even the empire is only a part of it. There are hundreds of countries of different sizes on this continent, and some of them have a history much longer than the empire.

Many people have not even heard of the Empire, but they must have heard of Totnes, because it is a country within a country, a prosperous and prosperous place of commerce that has been rumored by countless people.

This is the prestige brought by commercial circulation, and with the circulation of commercial trade, the news about Hamlet's origin in Totnes has been further spread, and has even reached other countries.

Almost everyone is asking about an extremely ordinary name in another country - Hamlet.

Ordinary people don't know where Hamlet is, but the increasingly exaggerated rumors make them lose their minds.

There was only one sentence left in their minds that kept repeating.

Hamlet hands out gold coins, go quickly!

Some people go to Hamlet because of their greed for wealth, but for another group of people.

What attracted them even more was not the ruins yet to be developed, but the lord who beat up the church and the rules he preached.

Yes, they are the extraordinary retail investors who have been suppressed by churches across the mainland.

Those extraordinary forces organized into organizations can fight against the church, but most of them are retail investors who wake up inexplicably and then inexplicably embark on this path, groping hard.

They have no organizational protection. Once they enter this world, they will immediately feel the cruel reality shrouded in the laws of the dark forest.

These people were forced to remain anonymous and were in constant fear every day, fearing that they would be used as fat pigs for refining by other extraordinary beings.

They still have to live under the oppression of the church, but now this place called Hamlet has become their hope.

They hope that they can walk freely on the streets without worrying that they will become sacrifices for other extraordinary beings, or that the trial will come to their door.

Those extraordinary beings hidden among ordinary people reacted, and they also joined the team heading to Hamlet.

Those countries or extraordinary organizations are much calmer. They are all searching for internal records about the age of this place. They will trace the source of the information, verify it through various means, and make a comprehensive decision. This is the background...

What kind of disaster can destroy a giant city in a short time?

And why is it spreading again after so many years of silence?

What about the undead occupying the ruins?

Whose conspiracy is behind this?

But without exception, it is difficult to suppress the curiosity about Hamlet.

Teams of people are gathering, and they will go to Hamlet, the rumored place...

News from businessmen also circulated on the Yaning Peninsula.

On the peninsula is the Eternal City, which sounds more powerful than Hamlet.

And this place can indeed support its name, because it was the capital of the ancient empire Romulus, which once conquered half of the continent.

It is natural to use the name "eternity" to want the empire to be eternal. Unfortunately, this is like a curse.

When the ancient empire was at its peak, the ancient empire soon fell into chaos as the legendary emperor was assassinated.

Until the Eternal City was conquered by foreigners and then completely collapsed, the ancient empire was like a firework, only shining for a moment, but it was dazzling enough in the long history.

It is a pity that what is now huddled on the Yanin Peninsula is just a small country called Romulus, which lives in the past, but has to live in the present, and yet dreams of the future.

But at this time, the emperor of the Eternal City fell into deep thought when he heard the news, and after a while he spoke.

"Go and call Bakurus."

Soon, a tall man stepped into the palace, wearing a complete set of armor in the style of the ancient empire. It showed a dim brass color and looked like traces of blood seeping into it that were difficult to clean off.

Wearing a very distinctive helmet, with a horizontal red horsehair-like decoration on the top to show bravery.

On the face is a full-face mask with the same color as the armor, leaving only the eyes, revealing a calm gaze.

What’s interesting is that his outfit doesn’t look like the common plate armor of the Imperial Knights, and the separate parts are combined into a complete set. It looks somewhat similar to Baldwin’s armor, but there are many differences.

"Baculus, you should know about the recent rumors about Hamlet. The ruins of the old city are occupied by the undead. There are even rumors that the necromancer is haunted. The Forbidden Legion will definitely appear there."

When Bakurus heard this, he understood what the emperor wanted from him.

The Forbidden Legion is a secret of the empire, but a secret that many people know.

It is said to be a legion, but in fact it is just an uncontrolled team, but the situation of the legion members is very strange.

Because the first records of those people were from the ancient empire period, but the problem is that the ancient empire has been dead for so long, and the legion still appears in the world every once in a while, and almost every appearance is related to the undead.

Now that there are large-scale undead in Hamlet and traces of the Necromancer, it can basically be concluded that the Forbidden Legion will definitely appear there.

"Go to Hamlet to investigate the situation of the Forbidden Legion. The best thing is to bring them back." The emperor began to describe this mission.

The ancient empire collapsed too quickly, and even the Eternal City was breached. This situation resulted in the loss of a lot of relevant information, coupled with the passage of thousands of years.

In the current Romulus Empire, even the emperor does not know the details of the forbidden army.

Only the attire of the legion proves that they are part of the ancient empire and are very powerful. Although I don't know what the situation is, if I can summon them back, my position will be more secure.

Who has no ambition?

It’s just that there is no matching power. If we can really find people from the ancient empire, we may be able to learn a lot of things, or we may find the legacy of the ancient empire...

And now he placed all his hopes on the champion of Romulus, the centurion Baculus.

"Yes!" Bakurus also responded. He was also interested in the legion from the ancient empire.
